About Tfg Fellowship Bursary
The TFG Fellowship Bursary, formally the TFG Data Science and Leadership Fellowship, is run by The Foschini Group (TFG) for postgraduate students pursuing research or coursework-based Master's degrees in Data Science or related fields.
This is a narrow, highly specific Fellowship - unlike broader corporate bursaries on this site, it targets only Master's-level Data Science candidates, and includes an in-person event at TFG's Cape Town head office as part of the programme, so applicants based far from Cape Town should factor that logistics requirement into their decision to apply.
